Three Portuguese man o' war stings and one ear infection later, I'm finally an Open Water Diver 🐟. Took the opportunity to dive Coron's shipwrecks, coral reefs and volcanic lakes.
.
First video is borrowed GoPro footage of Barracuda Lake. You can see the boundary marking the thermocline and halocline (28°C freshwater above and 38°C saltwater below). It is a strange sensation to dive into layer of hot water. The lake's fauna include brine shrimp, crayfish, catfish and gobies (legend is there is one barracuda...)
.
Second video is my attempt to film a shipwreck with my phone in a plastic bag. Got to explore the boiler room and hallways of a ship called Morazon Maru, which is an auxillary cargo ship of the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II.
.
In conclusion, I should invest in a GoPro.

Barracuda Lake! Famously known for its high rock walls and is able to form corals in the water due to having roughly 27% salt water! There is not much marine life here.
